1 Delicious Pasta Sauce – 8 Different Dishes

Not a week passes without me making this 1 delicious pasta sauce. It’s a great way to pack in loads of lovely rainbow vegetables and so versatile that it seems to re-invent and adapt into different combinations time and time again.

It’s really not very different from a ratatouille, except that there are no rules: you make a basic tomato, onion, garlic base and add as many complimenting, rainbow vegetables that you can get hold of. I also add a tin of anchovies which melt into the sauce adding a rich saltiness, which gives a reassuring punch of tasty.

It’s really worth making a large batch, as it freezes well and keeps in the fridge for up to 5 days, and it’s so handy to come home to after a busy day. And if you grow your own vegetables, its a great way to use up the summer glut of courgettes and tomatoes. It makes ordinary dishes colourful and interesting and the combinations seem endless, below is a list of some of the ways I use it.

Serve on spaghetti or any pasta of choice.

Bruschetta topping on toasts or pitta bread.

Parmigiana with layers of courgette and aubergine topped with mozzarella.

Stuffed inside a whole fish and baked in foil.

With a bowl of brown rice or a baked potato and topped with creme fraiche and chilli flakes.

Stuffed into peppers and topped with grilled cheese.

Piled onto portobello mushrooms and topped with parmesan.

Use as a base for a slow cooked chicken casserole with added stock and black olives.
